he sounded pretty chilled out giving the interview so i duno what the problem is. plus he still has approximately 9 other fingers left, thats a lot.

he had a compound fracture on his left hand so he was in a great deal of pain and couldn't jab, grapple, or parry strikes

if he cant jab or parry then he should have equipped a shield and spear

If a man can't jab or parry he should become a programmer as that's where the real money is at.

how would he code with only one working hand? I feel like this career plan is full of holes. imo more fighters should just train with Nick Newell, so they are prepared for these eventualities

Apparently Gunni isn't wearing hand wraps tonight so we'll probably get some more broken hands before the night is over.

According to what source because that doesn't sound like something that would be allowed by any commission.

I don't think there's any way to fix it without endangering fighter safety, but it always bugs me when guys avoid GnP by intentionally turning the back of their head towards the strikes.

huh that's pretty cool - I guess is makes sense since the wraps are for the fighter's fists

It bothers me when fighters use footwork to avoid getting KO'd. Its the UFC, JUST BLEED!!

Yeah, but also Fozzy is correct that my comment was dumb and not interesting, I just noticed that right after the horn Wade was complaining to the ref about the back-of-the-head strikes, and the ref said like "I don't care, you moved your head to make that happen"

Id agree that it is. Ive brought this up a million times but Shooto showed that even at 145, and lighter punches to the back of the head are destructive. I always think of a Lion Takeshi fight I saw when he got mounted and the guy turned over and he flurried on the back of the guys head. It was over. Its a trade off to me, because it significantly changes the value of back control, but i dont really want to see guys get killed just so the fights are a little more "real" or whatever. On the other hand I dont like the knees/elbows/punching rules because it lets guys drag the fight on and makes escaping more valuable than not getting into the position in the first place, to some extent

Pushing people against the cage will get you remarkably far in some judges cards.
